From 1986 to 2004 Kilroy-Silk was the presenter of a BBC daytime television programme called Kilroy .

It had something of a cult following because of its unintentional hilarity.

So he joined Ukip and was swiftly elected to the European parliament.

But he soon told an interviewer that he would like to lead the party.
